OBJECTIVE To establish a UPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of plasma concentration of three carbapenem antibiotics， i.e. ertapenem （ETP）， imipenem （IPM） and meropenem （MEM）. METHODS After protein precipitation with methanol， the plasma samples were separated by ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 column （2.1 mm×50 mm， 1.7 μm） using stable isotopes of three antibiotics （ETP-D4， IPM-D4， MEM-D6） as the internal standard. The mobile phases were 98% acetonitrile +2% water +0.1% formic acid and 98% water +2% acetonitrile +0.1% formic acid， by gradient elution. The flow rate was 0.3 mL/min and the column temperature was 40 ℃. Scanning analysis was performed in the positive ion and multiple reaction monitoring mode. RESULTS The method had good specificity， good linearity （r2≥0.993） in the range of 0.2-200， 0.1-100 and 0.1-100 μg/mL of ETP， IPM and MEM， and good intra-batch and inter-batch precision and accuracy （all RE≤5.14%， all RSD≤11.15%）， the matrix effect and extraction recovery were consistent （RSD≤12.99%）. CONCLUSIONS This study establishes the UPLC-MS/MS method to simultaneously quantify the plasma concentration of ETP， IPM and MEM.

Objective To assess the risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB)bloodstream infection(BSI)and 28-day short-term mortality in elderly patients,and provide reference for the pre-vention and treatment of CRAB BSI.Methods Clinical data of patients aged ≥60 years and diagnosed with AB BSI in a hospital in Yulin City from January 2013 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed,including demogra-phic and microbiological characteristics,as well as clinical outcomes of the patients.Variables which were significant in univariate analysis were selected for multivariate analysis using binary logistic regression model and Cox propor-tional hazards model.Independent risk factors for infection were further determined,and survival analysis was per-formed using Kaplan-Meier curve.Results A total of 150 patients were included in the study,out of which 16 pa-tients(10.7％)had CRAB BSI and 134 had carbapenem-sensitive AB(CSAB)BSI.The 28-day short-term mortali-ty of AB BSI in elderly patients was 15.3％(23/150,95％CI:9.6％-21.1％),and the short-term mortality of CRAB BSI was higher than that of CSAB([56.3％,9/16]vs[10.4％,14/134]).Deep venous catheterization(OR:15.598,95％CI:1.831-132.910)and combined infections of other sites(OR:15.449,95％CI:1.497-159.489)were related to CRAB BSI in elderly patients.The independent risk factors for 28-day mortality in elderly patients with AB BSI were hemodialysis(OR:11.856,95％CI:2.924-48.076),intensive care unit admission(OR:9.387,95％CI:1.941-45.385),and pulmonary infection being suspected source of bacteremia(OR:7.019,95％CI:1.345-36.635).Conclusion The occurrence of CRAB BSI in elderly patients is related to the combined infection of other sites and deep vein catheterization.Hemodialysis,admission to ICU,and pulmonary infection being suspected source of bacteremia are independent risk factors for the prognosis of AB BSI in elderly patients.
摘要
Objective To explore the application of metagenomic next-generation sequencing(mNGS)technology in the investigation of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)outbreaks of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter bau-mannii(CRAB).Methods Pathogenic detection by mNGS and conventional pathogen culture were performed on 5 patients in the intensive care unit(ICU)of a hospital from June 8 to 22,2023 from whom CRAB were detected.Microbial sampling was carried out in potentially contaminated environment.Bacterial culture,identification,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were conducted.Comprehensive control measures were taken,and the effect was evaluated.Results The time required for reporting results by mNGS was shorter than the culture time([3.92± 1.05]days vs[6.24±0.25]days,P＜0.001).CRAB was isolated from the specimens of 5 patients.mNGS de-tected OXA-23 resistance genes from all patients.After comprehensive assessment by experts,4 patients were HAI and 1 patient was due to specimen contamination.According to the definition from Guidelines for HAI outbreak control,this event was considered an outbreak of HAI.The monitoring results of environmental hygiene showed that the detection rate of CRAB in the environment during the outbreak was 51.30％(59/115),mainly from the hands of health care workers and the surface of ventilators.After implementing multidisciplinary infection control measures,clinicians'hand hygiene compliance rate and implementation rate of ventilator disinfection increased from 40.83％(49/120)and 33.33％(16/48)to 82.61％(95/115)and 83.33％(30/36),respectively.The prognosis of patients was good,and no new case emerged during subsequent monitoring.The outbreak of HAI in this hospital has been effectively controlled.Conclusion mNGS is characterized by high precision,less time consumption,and high accuracy,and can be applied to the prevention and control of HAI outbreak and the study of antimicrobial-re-sistant genomes.It is of great significance for the anti-infection treatment of patients with multidrug-resistant orga-nism infection as well as the formulation of HAI prevention and control measures.Continuous improving disinfec-tion effectiveness and hand hygiene compliance is important for preventing and controlling CRAB infection.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of bloodstream infection caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) in preterm infants, and to provide basis for early clinical diagnosis and infection control. Methods:The clinical data of infants with CRKP bloodstream infection admitted to the Preterm Infants Ward of Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from January 2015 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The risk factors for death in preterm infants caused by CRKP bloodstream infection were explored through multivariate logistic regression analysis, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the clinical value of each factor on evaluating prognosis. The area under curves (AUC) of each factor in different ROC curve were compared by Delong′s test.Results:A total of 96 preterm infants with CRKP bloodstream infection were included, including 70 in the survival group and 26 in the death group. The first onset symptoms of CRKP bloodstream infection in preterm infants were persistent tachycardia (heart rate>180 per minute) (69 cases, 71.9%), fever (61 cases, 63.5%), and apnea (59 cases, 61.5%). There were 88(91.7%) cases of infection combined with septic shock, and 91(94.8%) cases required vasoactive drug support. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the maximum vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS) within 48 hours of onset (odds ratio ( OR)=1.058, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.022 to 1.095, P=0.001), concurrent purulent meningitis ( OR=8.029, 95% CI 1.344 to 47.972, P=0.022), and concurrent necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) ( OR=10.881, 95% CI 1.566 to 75.580, P=0.016) were independent risk factors for death in preterm infants with CRKP bloodstream infection. The ROC curve showed that the AUCs for evaluating the prognosis of preterm infants with NEC and purulent meningitis were 0.784 and 0.711, respectively. The AUC for evaluating the prognosis of preterm infants with a maximum VIS ≥52.5 points within 48 hours of onset was 0.840, and the AUC for combining the three factors was 0.931. Compared with NEC and purulent meningitis, the AUC for combining factors was higher, the differences were statistically significant ( P=0.002, P<0.001). Conclusions:Preterm infants with CRKP bloodstream infection who have a maximum VIS ≥52.5 points within 48 hours of onset, with NEC and purulent meningitis have a higher risk of death.

ObjectiveTo investigate a suspected outbreak of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii （CRAB） nosocomial infection in an intensive care unit （ICU） and provide scientific evidence for prevention and control of multi-drug resistant nosocomial infection. MethodsClinical and epidemiological data of 4 patients with CRAB infection were retrospectively investigated in the ICU of Renji Hospital in November 2021. Environmental hygiene monitoring and multilocus sequence typing （MLST） were conducted and intervention measures were taken. ResultsA total of 4 cases with CRAB infection were identified， among which 1 case was determined to be community-acquired and3 cases were hospital-acquired. The isolated strains shared the same drug resistance， and were all classified into ST368 type. In the surface and hand samples （n=40）， 2 CRAB strains were detected in the air filter beside the bed of the first case， with a detection rate of 5%. After adopting comprehensive prevention and control strategies， including environmental cleaning and disinfection， hand hygiene， staff management and training， and supervision， no similar case with CRAB infection was found. ConclusionThis suspected outbreak of CRAB nosocomial infection may be induced by inadequate environmental cleaning and disinfection， and inadequate implementation of hand hygiene. Timely identification， investigation， and targeted measures remain crucial to effective control of possible nosocomial infection.

Objective To establish a Nomogram model for assessing the risk of intestinal colonization by Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)to determine the specific probability of colonization and adopt individualized prevention strategies for the purpose of reducing the occurrence of colonization and secondary infection of neonatal CRKP.Methods A total of 187 neonates hospitalized between January 2021 and October 2022 and diagnosed with CRKP colonization by rectal swab/fecal culture as well drug sensitivity identification 48 h after admission were assigned to the CRKP group.Another 187 neonates without non-CRKP colonization during the same period were set as the non-CRKP group.All the data of the two groups were used for a retrospective analysis.The caret package in R 4.2.1 was used to randomly divide the 374 cases into the model group and validation group at a ratio of 3∶1.Then the glmnet package in R 4.2.1 was used to conduct a LASSO regression analysis over the data from the model group to determine the predictive factors for modeling and the rms software package was used to build a Nomogram model.The pROC and rms packages in R 4.2.1 were used to examine the data,analyzing the consistency indexes(Cindex),receiver operating characteristic curves(ROC),and area under the curves(AUC)and performing the internal and external validation of the efficacy of the Nomogram model via the calibration curves.Results LASSO regression analysis determined eight predictors from the 35 factors probably affecting neonatal CRKP colonization:gender,cesarean section,breastfeeding,nasogastric tube,enema,carbapenems,probiotics,and hospital stay.The Nomogram model constructed using these eight predictors as variables could predict CRKP colonization to a moderate extent,with the area under the ROC curve of 0.835 and 0.800 in the model and validation group,respectively.The Hos-mer-Lemeshow test showed that the predicted probability was highly consistent with the actual probability(the modeling group:P = 0.678>0.05;the validation group:P = 0.208>0.05),presenting a higher degree of fitting.Conclusion The Nomogram model containing such variables as gender,cesarean section,breastfeeding,nasogastric tube,enema,carbapenems,probiotics,and hospital stay is more effective in predicting the risk of neonatal CRKP colonization.Therefore,preventive measures should be individualized based on the colonization probability predicted by the Nomogram model in order to keep neonates from CRKP colonization and reduce the incidence of secondary CRKP infections among them.
摘要
OBJECTIVE To construct a risk prediction model for bloodstream infection （BSI） induced by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae （CRKP）. METHODS Retrospective analysis was conducted for clinical data from 253 patients with BSI induced by K. pneumoniae in the First Hospital of Qinhuangdao from January 2019 to June 2022. Patients admitted from January 2019 to December 2021 were selected as the model group （n＝223）， and patients admitted from January 2022 to June 2022 were selected as the validation group （n＝30）. The model group was divided into the CRKP subgroup （n＝56） and the carbapenem- sensitive K. pneumoniae （CSKP） subgroup （n＝167） based on whether CRKP was detected or not. The univariate and multivariate Logistic analyses were performed on basic information such as gender， age and comorbid underlying diseases in two subgroups of patients； independent risk factors were screened for CRKP-induced BSI， and a risk prediction model was constructed. The established model was verified with patients in the validation group as the target. RESULTS Admissioning to intensive care unit （ICU）， use of immunosuppressants， empirical use of carbapenems and empirical use of antibiotics against Gram-positive coccus were independent risk factors of CRKP-induced BSI （ORs were 3.749， 3.074， 2.909， 9.419， 95%CIs were 1.639-8.572， 1.292- 7.312， 1.180-7.717， 2.877-30.840， P＜0.05）. Based on this， a risk prediction model was established with a P value of 0.365. The AUC of the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve of the model was 0.848 [95%CI （0.779， 0.916）， P＜0.001]， and the critical score was 6.5. In the validation group， the overall accuracy of the prediction under the model was 86.67%， and the AUC of ROC curve was 0.926 [95%CI （0.809， 1.000]， P＜0.001]. CONCLUSIONS Admission to ICU， use of immunosuppressants， empirical use of carbapenems and empirical use of antibiotics against Gram-positive coccus are independent risk factors of CRKP- induced BSI. The CRKP-induced BSI risk prediction model based on the above factors has good prediction accuracy.

AIM: To compare the efficacy and safety of tigecycline with polymyxin B in the treatment of carbapenem resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE) pneumonia in critically ill patients. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of patients with CRE pneumonia who received tigecycline or polymyxin B therapy from January 1, 2018 to Jun 30, 2023 in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Primary outcomes included the 28-day all-cause mortality and clinical cure rate within 28days. Secondary outcomes included the ICU mortality, in-hospital mortality, the length of hospital stay and ICU stay, microbial eradication, duration of mechanical ventilation. Independent predictors affecting 28-day clinical cure rate were tested using Cox regression analyses. RESULTS: A total of 83 eligible patients were included in the final analysis after propensity score matching, 54 in the tigecycline group and 29 in the polymyxin B group. The 28-day all-cause mortality was 31.5% (17/54) in the tigecycline group and 37.9% (11/29) in the polymyxin B group, the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.554); the clinical cure rate was 63% (34/ 54) in the tigecycline group, which was significantly higher than that of the polymyxin B group of 34.5% (10/29) (P = 0.013). There were no statistical differences between the two groups in terms of secondary outcomes. Multivariate logistic regression analysis found that the use of tigecycline was an independent predictor of the 28-day clinical cure rate (HR 2.083, 95%CI 1.018-4.263, P = 0.045). However, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT) were significantly prolonged in the tigecycline group compared with the polymyxin B group (P=0.047; P=0.027), and fibrinogen (FIB) was significantly decreased (P < 0.001) after drug administration. CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference in 28-day all-cause mortality between the tigecycline and polymyxin groups; tigecycline might be associated with a higher 28-day clinical cure rate compared with polymyxin B. It should be noted that tigecycline may increase the risk of coagulation abnormalities.

BACKGROUND:Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an effective and even the only way to cure various hematological diseases,but the short-term mortality rate is relatively high after transplantation. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the risk factors affecting the overall survival of patients with hematological diseases in the short term(within 100 days)after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation,so as to reduce mortality and effectively prevent related risks in the short term(within 100 days)after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. METHODS:Clinical data of 585 patients with hematological diseases who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Center of First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 1,2018 to June 30,2021 were retrospectively analyzed.The risk factors that affected overall survival within 100 days after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were explored. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 585 patients with hematologic diseases underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.92 patients died within 100 days after transplantation,with a mortality rate of 15.7%(92/585).The median age of death cases was 26.5 years old(1-56 years),and the median survival time of death cases was 48 days(0-97 days).Univariate analysis exhibited that age≥14 years old,acute graft-versus-host disease,grade IV acute graft-versus-host disease,bacterial bloodstream infection,as well as carbapenem-resistant organism bloodstream infection,were risk factors for overall survival within 100 days after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(P<0.05).Multivariate regression analysis showed that age≥14 years old,grades Ⅲ-Ⅳ acute graft-versus-host disease,bacterial bloodstream infection,and carbapenem-resistant organism bloodstream infections were independent risk factors for overall survival(within 100 days)in patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.Hazard ratios were 1.77(95%CI 1.047-2.991),7.926(95%CI 3.763-16.695),2.039(95%CI 1.117-3.722),and 3.389(95%CI 1.563-7.347),respectively.In conclusion,all-cause mortality rate after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is relatively high in the short term.A timely diagnosis and effective treatment of bacterial bloodstream infection and acute graft-versus-host disease are essential to improving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation outcomes.
